and barack obama has done that. and mitt romney, you can't trust. >> do you feel like the articulation of the issues around the federal election, the presidential election, may have knock-on effects in the states? so many places where the restrictions have gone forward is in the states. is this going to help with that? >> absolutely. i think you're seeing it at the legislative level. you're seeing it in governors' races and you're seeing people stand up and say this is not the role of government. these are the small government people unless it comes to women's health. and they're standing up and saying no. we can run on this issue. we can win on this issue, and it's making a difference. not only are they talking about broadly women health. they're talking about the right to an abortion in this country without political interference, without him being -- him or her being in that examining room with a woman and her family. >> nancy keenan, the president of naral, pro choice america. again, congratulations on your high
